I’m not a conspiracy guy, but this story is very suspicious:

Man accidentally discharges gun during second amendment discussion, shoots printer

WILKESBORO, N.C. — A man accidentally discharged his gun inside a Wilkesboro GNC store during a discussion about the second amendment, striking a printer, according to police.

According to a Wilkesboro Police Dept. incident report, officers responded to the GNC store on Winkler Street around 8 p.m. Tuesday.

A witness told police he was speaking to a customer and they were discussing second amendment rights and guns around 6:50 p.m. The customer then pulled out his handgun and accidentally fired a shot, striking a printer, the witness said.

The customer then reportedly told the worker “he could not go down for this.”

The customer was described as a white male, younger than 28-years-old, brown hair, brown eyes, 5’8″ and around 170 pounds. He left the store in an early 2000s model dark colored Honda Civic.

No injuries were reported.

What makes it suspicious is that the guy left. If he had been a law-abiding gun owner, he would have stayed. I don’t know what’s the punishment for an accidental discharged, but I’m sure something can be worked out with the DA. Perhaps restitution of the property damaged, maybe some community service.

If he was a criminal who “can’t go down for this”, then why would he go to a gun rights meeting? Why would he remove his gun? Where the other gun owners packing that night? Did they not think of pulling out their guns and ordering him on the floor?

One could speculate that the cops (probably feds) arrested him for another crime, and gave him one of those off the record deals, “you do this and we won’t press charges for that.”

I hope this was indeed an accident.
